Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense, or simply Grêmio, is a famous Brazilian football club. It's based in Porto Alegre, the capital city of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. The club plays in Brazil's top league, the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, and their state league, the Campeonato Gaúcho. Grêmio was started in 1903 by Cândido Dias da Silva and 32 other people. Many of them were German immigrants living in Porto Alegre.
Grêmio's home is the Arena do Grêmio, where they moved in 2013. This stadium can hold over 55,000 fans. It's one of the most modern stadiums in South America. Before this, Grêmio played at Estádio Olímpico Monumental since 1954. Grêmio's team usually wears a blue, black, and white striped shirt, black shorts, and white socks. This gave them their nickname, "Tricolor" (meaning "three colors").
Grêmio has won many important titles. In 1983, they became champions of the Intercontinental Cup by beating Hamburger SV. They have also won the Copa Libertadores three times, which is a big South American championship. This makes them one of the most successful Brazilian clubs in this competition.
The club is known for its strong rivalry with Internacional. Matches between these two teams are called Grenal. They are some of the most exciting and watched games in Brazil.

Club History: How Grêmio Started
The Early Days and Becoming Professional

On September 7, 1903, an old football team from Brazil, Sport Club Rio Grande, played a game in Porto Alegre. Cândido Dias, a businessman, loved the sport and went to watch. During the game, the ball went flat. Since he was the only one with a football in Porto Alegre, he lent his ball to the players. After the game, he talked to local players about starting a new club.
On September 15, 1903, Cândido Dias and 32 others met at a restaurant. They founded "Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense." Most of them were from the city's German community. Carlos Luiz Bohrer was chosen as the first president.
Grêmio's first game was on March 6, 1904, against Fuss Ball Porto Alegre. Grêmio won 1–0. The name of the player who scored the first goal is not known today. The trophy Grêmio won that day, the Wanderpreis, is still in the club's museum. Within five months, the club opened its first home stadium, the Baixada.
On July 18, 1909, Grêmio beat Internacional 10–0 in Internacional's first game. Grêmio's goalkeeper, Kallfelz, even left the field to chat with fans during the match! This big win is still a proud memory for Grêmio fans. This game also started the famous rivalry between the two clubs.
Grêmio helped start the Porto Alegre football league in 1910. They won the league for the first time in 1911. On August 25, 1912, Grêmio had their biggest win ever, beating Sport Clube Nacional of Porto Alegre 23–0. Sisson scored 14 goals in that match.
In 1918, Grêmio helped create the Fundação Rio-Grandense de Desportes. This group later became the Federação Gaúcha de Futebol, which organized the first state championships. In 1921, Grêmio won its first state championship. This was a year after the famous goalkeeper Eurico Lara joined the team.
On July 7, 1911, Grêmio beat Uruguay's national team 2–1. In 1931, Grêmio was one of the first teams in Brazil to play night matches. They installed floodlights at Estádio Baixada. On May 19, 1935, Grêmio became the first team from Rio Grande do Sul to beat a team from São Paulo. They defeated Santos 3–2. Grêmio was also the first club from outside Rio de Janeiro state to play at the Maracanã Stadium. They beat Flamengo 3–1 in 1950.
Grêmio started to become known internationally. In 1932, they played their first international match in Rivera, Uruguay. In 1949, they beat Uruguay's Nacional 3–1. The players got a hero's welcome when they returned to Porto Alegre. In the same year, Grêmio played in Central America for the first time. Between 1953 and 1954, Grêmio toured Mexico, Ecuador, and Colombia. This tour was called "the conquest of the Americas." On February 25, 1959, Grêmio defeated Boca Juniors 4–1 in Buenos Aires. They were the first foreign team to beat Boca at La Bombonera.
In 1961, Grêmio went on its first European tour. They played 24 games in 11 countries. Grêmio fans, called Gremistas, were growing in number. In 1946, the club's motto appeared: "com o Grêmio onde o Grêmio estiver" ("with Grêmio wherever Grêmio may be"). This motto was later put into Grêmio's official anthem. The anthem was written by Lupicinio Rodrigues, a famous composer and Grêmio fan. It celebrates how Grêmio fans always support their team, no matter what.
In the late 1950s, Grêmio joined the Taça Brasil, which was the Brazilian league then. The team reached the semi-finals in 1959, 1963, and 1967. In 1968, they won their first international friendly cup. In 1954, Grêmio opened the Olímpico Stadium. At the time, it was the biggest private stadium in Brazil. In 1971, the Taça Brasil was replaced by the Campeonato Brasileiro. Grêmio's Néstor Scotta scored the first goal ever in the Campeonato Brasileiro. Grêmio usually finished in the top half of the league.
Winning Big: The 1983 Intercontinental Cup
Grêmio started to dominate South American football in the early 1980s. This was helped by their new stadium, the Olímpico Monumental.
Grêmio won its first Campeonato Brasileiro on May 3, 1981. They defeated São Paulo at the Morumbi Stadium. The winning goal was scored by striker Baltazar.
The year 1983 was very successful for Grêmio. First, Grêmio won the South American Copa Libertadores. One semi-final match, a 3–3 draw against Estudiantes, became famous as the "Batalha de La Plata" ("Battle of La Plata"). In the finals, Grêmio beat the 1982 South American and World champions Peñarol from Uruguay. Grêmio won 2–1 in Porto Alegre, with César scoring the winning goal. A year later, Grêmio was second in the Copa Libertadores, losing to Argentina's Independiente.
Also in 1983, Grêmio won the Intercontinental Cup. They defeated Hamburger SV of Germany 2–1. Renato Portaluppi scored both goals. Defender De León and goalkeeper Mazaropi became club legends for their great performances. After winning the Intercontinental Cup, Grêmio also won the Los Angeles Cup.
In 1989, Grêmio won the first Copa do Brasil, a national knockout cup. They beat Sport Recife in the final.
In 1991, Grêmio was relegated to the Brazilian Second Division for the first time. But they quickly returned to the top league in 1993. In 1994, Grêmio won its second Copa do Brasil, defeating Ceará. This win helped start the club's "Tokyo Project."
On December 11, 1994, Grêmio had to play three matches in one day at the Olímpico Monumental. They used 34 different players from their main team, reserves, and youth academy.
Luiz Felipe Scolari and the 1995 Libertadores Win

In May 1995, under coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, Grêmio was second in the Copa do Brasil. In August, the club won the Copa Libertadores for the second time. They defeated Atlético Nacional of Colombia. The tournament had tough matches, like against Palmeiras. Grêmio won one game 5–0, with Mário Jardel scoring three goals.
Grêmio then played in the 1995 Intercontinental Cup against Ajax. They lost after extra time and penalties. In early 1996, Grêmio won the Recopa Sudamericana, beating Argentina's Independiente 4–1.
On December 15, 1996, Grêmio won its second Campeonato Brasileiro. They defeated Portuguesa in the final.
In 1997, Grêmio won their third Copa do Brasil title. They beat Romário's Flamengo on away goals. Four years later, in 2001, Grêmio won their fourth Copa do Brasil. They defeated Corinthians 3–1 in a memorable match.
Tough Times and the "Battle of the Aflitos"
.jpg)
In 2004, Grêmio finished last in the Série A and was relegated to the Second Division. This meant less money for the club. Grêmio needed to win promotion back to the First Division.
On November 26, 2005, Grêmio played against Náutico at Estádio dos Aflitos. This chaotic match became known as "The Battle of the Aflitos". Grêmio had four players sent off and two penalty kicks given against them. Goalkeeper Galatto saved the second penalty when Grêmio had only seven players left. Just seconds later, 17-year-old Anderson scored the winning goal. This goal secured the Série B championship and promotion back to Série A.
On April 9, 2006, Grêmio won the state championship against their rival Internacional. In 2007, Grêmio won the Campeonato Gaúcho again.
Also in 2007, Grêmio reached the final of the 2007 Copa Libertadores. The team earned the nickname "Imortal Tricolor" for their strong home performances. Fans waited in huge lines for tickets to the final game. However, Boca Juniors won the title.
Renato Portaluppi and the 2017 Libertadores Win

In 2008, Grêmio finished second in the Campeonato Brasileiro. In 2012, Grêmio played its last year at the Olímpico Monumental.
In 2014, Grêmio qualified for the Copa Libertadores. They were eliminated by San Lorenzo. They also lost to their rival Internacional in the Campeonato Gaúcho finals. Luiz Felipe Scolari returned as coach.
In 2015, former Grêmio player Roger Machado became the new manager. Grêmio qualified for the 2016 Copa Libertadores. They also had a famous 5–0 win over Internacional. Roger Machado resigned in September 2016. Renato Portaluppi took over and led Grêmio to win the Copa do Brasil. This made them the Brazilian club with the most titles in this tournament (5). Fans started calling Grêmio the "Rei de Copas" (King of Cups).
In 2017, Grêmio won their third Libertadores title. They defeated Club Atlético Lanús 1–0 at Arena do Grêmio and 2–1 away. Luan was named the best player of the tournament. Goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe made an amazing save in the semi-final. Grêmio became the third Brazilian club to win three Copa Libertadores titles.
The club then played in the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. Grêmio beat Pachuca 1–0 in the semi-final. They lost 0–1 to Real Madrid in the final.
Recent Seasons: Ups and Downs
In 2018, Grêmio finished 4th in the Campeonato Brasileiro. They reached the semi-final of the Copa Libertadores but were knocked out by River Plate.
In 2020, Grêmio met their rivals Internacional in the Copa Libertadores for the first time. A big fight broke out between players from both teams, and eight players were sent off. The match ended in a tie.
The 2020 season saw a drop in the team's performance. They won the Campeonato Gaúcho but finished 6th in the Brasileirão. This meant they had to play in the qualifying stages for the Libertadores. They failed to qualify after losing to Ecuador's Independiente del Valle. This led to the resignation of Renato Portaluppi, who had been at the club for almost five years.
In 2021, Grêmio was named the best club in South America of the decade (2011–2020) by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS).
After several coaching changes and poor results, Grêmio was relegated for the third time to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B in 2021.
In 2022, Roger Machado led the team to win their fifth Gauchão title in a row. Later, Renato Portaluppi returned as coach. The team's performance in the Série B was good enough to get them back to Série A in 2023.
In December 2022, Grêmio signed Luis Suárez, a famous football player. Suárez scored three goals in his first game on January 17, 2023. With Suárez, Grêmio won the 2023 Campeonato Gaúcho, their sixth in a row. Suárez later shortened his contract to one year due to knee injuries. With him, Grêmio finished 2nd in the 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, qualifying for the 2024 Copa Libertadores.
Club Symbols and Identity
Stars on the Club Emblem
Grêmio's emblem has stars that mean different things:
- A gold star means winning the World Club Championship.
- Silver stars mean winning three South American competitions.
- Bronze stars mean winning national competitions.
There is also a gold star on Grêmio's flag for Everaldo. He was the only Grêmio player on the 1970 Brazilian World Cup winning team.
The Club Flag
The first club flag was shown when the Baixada stadium opened. It had horizontal stripes of blue, black, and white. The Brazilian Flag inspired the club's flag from 1918 to 1944.
Club Mascot: The Musketeer
Grêmio's mascot is the Musketeer. In 1946, a cartoonist named Pompeo drew a musketeer with Grêmio's colors. He was inspired by Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers. The musketeer represents the team's unity, bravery, and determination. A banner with the slogan "With Grêmio wherever Grêmio is" appeared that year.
On December 1, 2023, Grêmio introduced a new mascot, "Black Arrow" (Flecha Negra). This mascot is inspired by club legend Tarciso Flecha Negra. Black Arrow is meant to appear alongside the Musketeer, not replace him.
Grêmio's Anthem
Grêmio's anthem is one of the most praised in Brazilian football. It was composed by Lupicínio Rodrigues, a famous composer. The anthem has famous lines like: Até a pé nós iremos / para o que der e vier / mas o certo é que nós estaremos / com o Grêmio onde o Grêmio estiver (Even on foot we will go / against all obstacles / but we sure will be / with Grêmio wherever Grêmio may be). Grêmio fans proudly say that their team has never played without supporters anywhere in the world.
Eurico Lara, a goalkeeper from the 1920s and 1930s, is mentioned in the anthem. He is called the immortal idol.
Team Kit and Colors
Grêmio's colors are blue, black, and white. This is a unique color mix for football shirts. The first Grêmio kit was inspired by the English club Exeter City. It included a black cap, a striped shirt in blue and havana (a brown color), a white tie, white shorts, and black socks. Later, the havana color was changed to black because the fabric was hard to find. Soon after, white stripes were added, creating the vertical striped pattern used today. This pattern is why Grêmio is called the "Tricolor."
Grêmio's official colors are:
- Home colors: Vertical stripes of light blue and black, with white details.
- Away colors: White with blue and black details.
- Alternative colors: Dark blue or blue with white details.

Club Stadiums
Grêmio's first stadium was the Estádio da Baixada, built in 1904. It was in a fancy neighborhood in Porto Alegre. This stadium was used until 1954.
The second stadium was the Estádio Olímpico Monumental. It opened in 1954. At that time, it was the biggest private stadium in Brazil. Grêmio won its first game there 2–0. In 1980, a second level was added, and the stadium was renamed Olímpico Monumental. It once held 98,421 people for a game in 1981.
By the 2000s, the Olímpico stadium was getting old. It needed a lot of repairs and wasn't very comfortable. So, the club decided to build a new stadium. Construction started in 2010.
In 2012, Grêmio moved to their new home, Arena do Grêmio. This large stadium can hold 55,225 people. It's one of the most modern stadiums in South America. The first game at the Arena was a friendly match in December 2012. The stadium has hosted important games, including the 2016 Copa do Brasil Finals and the 2017 Copa Libertadores Finals.
The club also uses the Estádio Antônio Vieira Ramos for its women's team.
Training Facilities
Grêmio's first training area was next to the Estádio Olímpico Monumental. In 2000, the first official training center, the CT Hélio Dourado, was built. It was a bit far, so it was mostly used by the club's youth academy.
In 2014, Grêmio finished building a new training center, the CT Luiz Carvalho. It's right next to the Arena do Grêmio in Porto Alegre. It has beautiful views of the city and the Guaíba River.
Grêmio Supporters
Grêmio fans are called "gremistas" or "tricolores." In the past, many fans were Brazilians of German descent. Now, the fan base is very diverse. Grêmio and Internacional divide the population of Rio Grande do Sul. Grêmio is also popular in other parts of Brazil. A 2022 study found that Grêmio has some of the most "loyal" fans in Brazil. Over 90% of Grêmio fans support only Grêmio. In 2023, Grêmio had over 100,000 sócios (club members).
Geral do Grêmio: The Loudest Fans
The biggest group of Grêmio supporters is called Geral do Grêmio. They are like European ultras or Latin American barra bravas. The group started in 2001. Fans watched games from the "Geral" section of the stadium, where tickets were cheaper. They were inspired by fan groups in Argentina and Uruguay.
A special tradition of this group is the "avalanche." When Grêmio scores a goal, fans run down the stand towards the fence. This is their way of celebrating with the players. The Arena do Grêmio even has a special area without chairs for the Geral do Grêmio. However, safety barriers were added after an incident in 2013 to prevent fans from falling.
The Geral do Grêmio is a free group, meaning they don't charge fees. They don't have uniforms or control who joins. They bring drums and brass instruments to games, leading chants and never stopping. They display large banners and flags. They also use flares and smoke bombs to cheer on the team.
The Geral do Grêmio has good relationships with some other fan groups. They have a strong bond with Nacional's fan group from Uruguay. Members of both groups often meet and attend each other's games.
Other Fan Groups
Other Grêmio fan groups include Torcida Jovem do Grêmio, the oldest group founded in 1977. There are also Rasta do Grêmio, Super Raça Gremista, Garra Tricolor, Máfia Tricolor, and Velha Escola. Some groups are just for female supporters, like Núcleo de Mulheres Gremistas.
Club Rivalries
Grenal: The Biggest Rivalry
Over the years, Grêmio and Internacional, another big club from Porto Alegre, became strong rivals. Games between them are called Grenal. This rivalry divides the state of Rio Grande do Sul and the city of Porto Alegre. It's one of the most intense football rivalries in Brazil and the world. These matches are full of emotion and competition.
The first Grenal was in 1909, and Grêmio won 10–0. Grêmio had more wins in the early years. But Internacional took the lead in 1945 and still has more wins today.
In 1935, Grêmio's goalkeeper, Eurico Lara, faced a penalty kick. His doctor had told him not to overexert himself. But Lara didn't listen. He saved the penalty but then collapsed. He had to leave the game. Grêmio won, but sadly, Lara died two months later from the effort. He is remembered in the club's anthem.
Gre-Ju: Another State Rivalry
Gre-Ju is another rivalry in Rio Grande do Sul, between Grêmio and Juventude from Caxias do Sul. For a long time, Grêmio was much stronger. But in the 1990s, Juventude grew stronger, making the rivalry more exciting.
